About This Home

As of June 2025

Originally built in 1908, and entirely renovated in 2016. This unique Scituate home overlooks beautiful, historic Lawson Common. As was the style in the early 1900's this home is gracefully set back from First Parish Road and borders the quiet cul de sac, Bell Tower Lane. Within a quick stroll (public sidewalks) there is access to Scituate Harbor, restaurants and shops, elementary schools, high school, library and beaches. The home at 291 First Parish is spacious, with 9ft ceilings, oversized windows, and hardwood throughout. The views are truly special. The home has been beautifully restored by a local carpenter who has lived and worked renovating homes in Scituate for 25 years.
